Place to see: Knoebels Amusement Resort, Elysburg, Pennsylvania, United States

About this place:

Knoebels Amusement Resort has been owned and operated by the Knoebels Family since 1926. The park features tons of amusement rides, ranging from old midway-type rides, to brand-new roller coasters. Its haunted house has been named one of the best "dark ride" style haunted houses for several years. It also features the Phoenix, which is a large wooden roller coaster, and a hand-carved giant carousel imported from Italy, with a working automatic calliope.
In addition to rides and games, there are many great places to eat around the park, as well as music, shows, a wood shop, and many other surprising things to do. The greatest thing about Knoebels is its free admission and parking; you can spend all day there just walking around and not pay a cent.
